soc_puppetArgh, how has it been so long since I last posted?
Oh, yeah. My boss keeps assigning me not-quite-full-time hours. I've had two weeks of not-quite-full-time, and just got my schedule for next week, revealing another 38.5 hours of time scheduled. (This is seriously BS. Either give me enough hours for employee healthcare, or go back to giving me time to crochet and/or at least consider pursuing another job.) That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
In the mean time, my current culinary quest: Finding a recipe for pâte de guimauve that involves actual marshmallow root. I'd bet money that the friend I got the sausage hedgehog recipe from has something that would work, though damned if I'll be able to find actual marshmallow root (or the rest of the plant) easily in the US. Still, it seems like it would be fun to do; in the mean time, I have non-marshmallow-root pâte de guimauve recipes to consider. Also there's that from-cacao-nibs chocolate recipe I extracted from Like Water for Chocolate forever ago. I should give that a try sometime, because how badass would that be?
